TxDOT has a responsibility to the public to maintain the highest ethical standards when conducting business. To that end, we depend on two fraud reporting programs, the Office of Compliance and Ethics (OCE) and the Texas State Auditor's Office Hotline. Each one enables both employees and citizens to anonymously report any suspected fraudulent activity.

TxDOT Watch

The TxDOT Watch reporting system allows individuals to anonymously report suspected unethical and illegal activities within the agency in one of two ways:

• Report incidents by visiting TxDOT Watch.
• Call toll-free (877) 769-8936.

Business Partners Ethics Programs

• Certification of Internal Ethics and Compliance Program
• Model Minimum Standards for Internal Compliance Program Requirements

The Texas State Auditor's Office Hotline (SAO)

You can report alleged fraud, misuse of and/or illegal acts involving state resources by calling (800) TX-AUDIT (892-8348) or by visiting the Texas State Auditor's Office Hotline. State resources include:

• expenditures by state agencies, colleges and universities,
• the use of state grant money,
• federal stimulus or
• funds for Hurricane Ike victims.
